韩国交易所年内第七次启动熔断机制

On Monday, South Korean stocks fell, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism on the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) by the Korea Exchange, resulting in a 20-minute trading halt for KOSPI-listed stocks. At around 1:28 PM local time (12:28 PM Beijing time), as the KOSPI index fell more than 8% from the previous trading day's close, the Korea Exchange activated the market-wide circuit breaker. This came after renewed clashes between the U.S. and Iran over the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
